SC-HD50: 24-year-old city council member (D)wins SC House race
A 24-year-old Bishopville City Council member will be the newest legislator at the Statehouse.
Democrat Keishan Scott cruised to victory Tuesday over former Sumter County GOP chair Bill Oden.
Scott received almost 71% of less than 3,700 votes cast in a special election for a state House seat representing all of Lee County and parts of Kershaw and Sumter counties, according to unofficial results from the state Election Commission.
“This victory is not mine alone, but it belongs to all of the people … that got out and exercised their right to vote,” Scott said to cheers at a victory speech broadcast on his Facebook speech.
